Many students believe in spirits
October 29, 2020
The majority of Morton East students do in fact believe in spirits.
According to “History.com,” Pliney the young in the first century of A.D, was the first to record ghosts and spirits stories in his letters. Also from “History,com,” centuries later, in 856 A.D, the first poltergeist was reported at a farmhouse in Germany. A “poltergeist” is a ghost or spirit that affects physical things, like loud noises, objects falling, or being thrown around. Currently, some of the most famous media ghosts are “Ghostbusters” and ”A Christmas Carole.” Ghost hunters use an EMF meter to detect ghosts. Interestingly, according to “cba.ca,” the signs of a ghost are temperature change in a room, doors opening and closing on their own, and even unexplained smells filling a room. In a random poll of 50 Morton East students, 46 students report believing in spirits.
“I do think spirits exist. I think energy just changes form, like from a solid to a gas, in my opinion. It can’t be destroyed or change so I think spirits are all around us but we just don’t take the time to really decipher it,” senior Angel Luna said.
Some people do believe in spirits, but others have a more complicated response to the question.
“I’m not sure if I believe in spirits if that makes sense. It’s like, I’ve never seen one, but my wife says she has and she’s like the most honest person I’ve ever met,” Morton East teacher Jeremy Robinson said.
Some people don’t believe in spirits like others do, with their own reasons.
“Pienso que eso no existe, que la gente lo ace para creer en algo,” father and roof worker Juan Ornelas said.

Judge: Yeah I think you should’ve added more info but it was good and I would say spirits/ the soul exists. btw the following comment you put is contradicting: “I do think spirits exist. I think energy just changes form, like from a solid to a gas, in my opinion. It can’t be destroyed or change so I think spirits are all around us but we just don’t take the time to really decipher it,” senior Angel Luna said.

(judge) what an entertaining article I do believe that “spirts” exist and I like the fact that now I know there are other people who have the same thought. however the truth is that though I do believe they are real thing I try not to look much into it thus I don’t attract so much attention to myself in that realm because i do believe i have been haunted more than once. you would think that with everything that has happened in my so far short life I’ve learned my lesson. or so you think bwahahaha. lol the joke is on me.

I believe spirits exist, its part of my culture that they do. Many cultures have certain things relating to spirits. I think it just comes from certain mindsets and how we were raised.

The article was pretty interesting, but I felt that you could have added more information about these sighting you mentioned.

Reporter did a great job in researching about who believes in spirits or not it is very interesting. However I feel that he could’ve avoided saying “history. com” twice.

I think believing in spirits comes from what there parents teach them like culture, or what they see online.

I really like your article? I myself do believe spirits exist, and it’s interesting to me that some people don’t think so. In a way, I can see the point of view that says that people just make something up to believe in something, but I don’t agree with it.
